Never Let You Go
HOYO-MiX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I´ve been running like a sentence
Never begun
I´ve been looking for a way to let you know
I got nothing left to fill out spaces
I got nothing but a septum coming undone
I´ve been doing circles and it shows
Every place that I hide
Tell me that I,
I was wrong to let you go
Every search that I heel
Every flower that I feel
Tell me that I,
I was wrong to let you go
Let you go, Let you go, Let you go x4"
Its the little things that make you crazy
Like the thought of someone else touching your skin
I can see you everywhere i go
It could be the sight of your face
It could be the aroma of your breath
Still as the river as it flows
Every cloud in the sky
Every place that I hide
Tell me that I,
I was wrong to let you go
Every search that I heel
Every flower that I feel
Tell me that I,
I was wrong to let you go
Let you go let you go let you go x4
The lyrics of HOYO-MiX’s “Never Let You Go” express the regret and the longing of losing someone special. The song opens with the singer confessing that they have chased the same old familiar things and running like a person trapped in a repetitive sentence. The singer realizes that they have been going around in circles, trying to find a way to get through to the person they lost without anything concrete in hand. They only have a septum coming undone; a reference to the cartilage part of the nose that is a metaphor for feeling broken, dislocated, and incomplete. The songwriter is likely trying to tell the story of a lost and confused person who has tried to find their way back to the person they lost but has failed to do so, and now they feel stranded, helpless, and regretful.
The lyrics continue to describe how the person who left is present in all the small things, from the sky to the places the singer hides. The song then takes on a sensually nostalgic tone as the imagery shifts to the feeling of someone else’s touch on the skin, the sight of a familiar face, and the aroma of a loved one’s breath. The song ends in repetition of the phrase “Let you go” four times, indicating a final acceptance of the loss but also a lingering regret for not being able to hold on to what was once had.

I´ve been to all the familiar places
I've gone to all the usual spots I usually visit
I´ve been running like a sentence never begun
I've been moving around like a never-ending clause
I´ve been looking for a way to let you know
I've been searching for a method to communicate with you
I got nothing left to fill out spaces
I don't have anything to occupy any vacant areas
I got nothing but a septum coming undone
All I have is a nose piercing that's starting to loosen
I´ve been doing circles and it shows
I've been going around in circles, and it's been evident
Every cloud in the sky
Each and every cloud up high
Every place that I hide
Every location where I try to seek shelter
Tell me that I, I was wrong to let you go
Inform me that I made a mistake by leaving you
Every search that I heel
All the quests that I pursue
Every flower that I feel
Every blossom I experience
Let you go, Let you go, Let you go x4
Reiterating that I allowed you to leave and am now regretting it
Its the little things that make you crazy
The small details are the ones that you find maddening
Like the thought of someone else touching your skin
Such as the idea of someone else laying hands on your body
I can see you everywhere i go
I can visualize you no matter where I venture
It could be the sight of your face
Perhaps upon catching a glimpse of your countenance
It could be the aroma of your breath
Or maybe catching a whiff of your breath
Still as the river as it flows
Completely calm, much like the tranquil flow of a river
